How can I find combat sites efficiently in high-sec?

Solution 1:

The secret to High Sec exploration is getting to things faster then everyone else. The chance of their being a good site as you meander the systems is pretty low. HOWEVER, when a site is closed, a new one shows up in the same security band. That means that new sites are popping up fairly frequently.

What most High Sec scanners do is choose 4-8 systems and go through them scanning them all down, record the signature number, and site type for each. Once all systems are documented you have a list of what "should" be there. Now you can patrol your chosen systems and look for new signatures. This will allow you to cherry pick valuable sites and get on them faster then your competition.

If you find yourself with too much downtime, you can cast your net wider, it's all up to you.
